The trailer for @ABanuaSimon's CANE FIRE debuts today on @DEADLINE. "A necessary corrective to the perception of Hawaiian identity" (@IndieWire), the film opens at @BAMfilmBrooklyn on May 20.
🎥 Coming to #DOXA2021: CANE FIRE (@ABanuaSimon) examines the past + present of the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi, interweaving family history, Hollywood productions, & found footage to portray forces that have cast indigenous & working-class residents as “extras” in their own story.
I highly recommend Cane Fire: An incredibly thorough inditement of Hollywood's role in the colonization of Kauai -- Catch it at @prismaticground for the next two days while you still can! 🔥
Watch CANE FIRE by @ABanuaSimon @prismaticground . More than a revisionist slice of Hawaii history, it's a vital explanation of 100-year raw colonial greed. Fierce grassroots activists confront Hollywood & tourism. FREE thru 4/18. https://t.co/3Z300BUmWn
For Golden Age Hollywood, Kauaʻi became synonymous with paradise. But Anthony Banua-Simon’s new documentary Cane Fire traces the reality of life on the island, from its sugar plantation roots to its transformation into a low-wage service economy. https://t.co/1ZtcbXD5Cm
